Abstract

A patient with a percutaneously inserted cardiopulmonary bypass cannula into the right internal jugular vein, connected to an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) circuit using tape, was referred for transport to our ECMO center. We describe management, quality improvement, and lessons learned.
